It's just the continuation of the dumbing down of language because people would rather be monosyllabic zombies than learn pronunciation and vocabulary.
No, you meant to say
That phenomenom exists merely as the continued foreshadowing of stupidification of verbalized communication caused by the fact that human beings (and alternate intelligent, rights-bearing creatures) would front their preferences towards behaving as uni-syllable-ized moving corpses as opposed to learning pronunciation and extremely long, multisyllable words that other people only use because they think it makes them seem intelligent.
There is no "southern horizon." Unless you're standing on the north pole, in which case the whole horizon is southern. Otherwise, the southern horizon is just a point. It's not like the horizon is some square with southern, northern, eastern, and mid-western edges.
Seriously, AJAX is not complex. Maybe it is for people who can only copy and paste Javascript from other web pages. But the concept of AJAX is simple, Javascript is one of the most elegant programming languages out there. I can see why one might want to adapt Python, though, for its batteries.
While I think JSON is awesome, I think XML is faster overall. If you're using mod_gzip, bandwidth of XML vs. JSON is negligable, and I think since the browser parses XML for you, it might be faster than using javascript code to create/interpret JSON.
The only place where speed matters like this is the server. Client side, the difference is a one-time occurance, and it's a matter of microseconds. Compared to download time, processing time is negligable. Compared to the speed at which the user interacts with the software, processing time is zero, negative if you factor in measurement error:-)
In general, it makes sense to lay as much work on the client side end as possible. It's like getting free distributed computing (possibly at the cost of programmer time).
First of all, the term "order of magnitude" refers to power 10.
The term "order of magnitude" refers to whatever the speaker was referring to. Definitions of words and phrases are not set in stone. When talking about asymptotic bounds, people use "order of magnitude" all the time. Deal with it.
Sure, *some* fifth-order polynomials are factorable to a set of reduced-order polynominals, but not all.
The other part of your post is true, but this statement stands out as false. Any nth-degree polynomial can be factored into something of the form (x - x1)(x - x2)...(x - xn).
It's the cheap drugs everywhere else that keeps prices driven up here in the U.S. The "benefits" of price-ceilinged cheap drugs are pretty moot when (a) pathogens become resistant to current drugs and (b) new drugs don't exist because companies aren't willing or able to invest as much in research.

40 billion is 0.363636 % of 11 trillion. I don't think they were talking about the record industry alone, though.
V - E - L + 2(F - S + G) = 0
Mod parent up, hardy har har!

Are bloggers and blog readers willing to accept rocky performance from popular services?"
if they believe the rocky performance is temporary
then Yes
else No
Mod parent off-topic, please. Parent has nothing to do with grand-parent; he is butting in up top for visibility.
Look at what Google Maps did for online mapping and tell me AJAX is "just a fad".
Okay. The word "AJAX" is just a fad.
The actual implementation will not be, and sites that use "AJAX" will range from the finely crafted interfaces to the usability nightmares.
It's like JavaScript.
No, AJAX is Javascript.

Be careful! This officially makes you an old fart.

What site feature is enabled by failing to escape ampersands?
What personality feature is enabled by failing to escape uppity snidery?
Bullshit. Here is a simple counter-example: history.
This is just people being stupid. Also the reason they dropped 'Nuclear' from NMRI.
Languages like Java that force you to use GC and where you can't tell the GC that an object should be deleted is not a real language.
It is obvious from reading this that you're not an "advanced" programmer.

No, because individual worker ants do not reproduce. A colony whose ants did this would be worse off, so such traits would be selected against.
Well, they _are_ losing money on the initial sale.
Canadian unemployment levels are nearing record low levels....
And your "record low level" is 6.6%. During our "recession," we hit a high of 6.3.
I subscribe to what I call my "1/3 the hype" theory. When you see a lot of hype over something, reduce it to 1/3 of itself and believe that instead.
Thank you for helping me figure out the truth.
Hype: "Linux is going to take over the desktop this year!"
Fact: "Linux is going to take over the desktop in the next four months!"
They're not "making us" pay $30.

I've never understood all this hokery. You only have to obey one simple rule.
The general theory of coding practices: Don't be a moron.
